Below are some of the options we have observed as available on electric toothbrushes. Some important features to look for while buying an electronic toothbrush are electric toothbrush timers, brushing duration timers which provide a guideline for users related to the total amount of time they should brush. A dentist will often refer to the mouth as composed of four "quadrants" (i.e., the upper left teeth, the lower right teeth, etc).
Some electric toothbrush manufacturers incorporate timers into their brushes that signal intervals indicating how long you should brush each single quadrant of your mouth. Usually these timers trigger every 30-second. Then there is brush head size. The precise size and shape of an electric toothbrush's brush head will vary by brand and model. Obviously a grown adult will be able to accommodate the use of a larger brush head than a young teenager. Additionally, those with braces will probably find that a generally smaller, more compact, brush head is easier to use than a larger one.
